Chapter 564: Jumping into the Lake
At this moment, Mu Qiancheng was incredibly composed, even when caught in the waves and sinking into the water, still thinking of ways to extricate himself.
However, he hadn’t figured out how to escape when his body was pulled down by a suction force. Mu Qiancheng was shocked, his mind blank.
Inwardly he lamented, it’s over, it’s all over. With this suction force, he was completely out of control.
In a split second, Mu Qiancheng suddenly recalled what Jiang Xue had said while rescuing the child. She mentioned there was something in the lake, and urged him to hurry.
Could it be that everything now was caused by something in the lake? Thinking this, Mu Qiancheng immediately reached for his leg.
As a soldier, even when not in the army, he still carried a military dagger, a habit developed over time.
A weapon for self-defense must be carried at all times, even if it’s not a gun, it can save a life at a critical moment.
When his hand touched the military dagger, Mu Qiancheng inwardly breathed a sigh of relief. Thankfully the dagger was still there, if there was indeed something in the water, holding the dagger meant he wouldn’t be at its mercy.
Mu Qiancheng held the dagger in his hand, ready at any moment to fight desperately against whatever was in the water.
However, the longer he stayed underwater without oxygen, his body began to feel uncomfortable. Breathing was difficult, let alone fighting.
By now, the people on the shore had lost their previous composure. When Mu Qiancheng sank to the bottom, Bai Yuhua screamed "Chengcheng" and then fainted completely.
Mu Siwu looked at his unconscious wife, thought of his son sinking into the water, and was overwhelmed by grief, his legs giving way as he knelt to the ground.
As for Jiang Xue, the moment Mu Qiancheng sank, she lost all caution and jumped straight into the lake.
"Xue’er!" Father Jiang and Mrs. Jiang saw Jiang Xue jump into the lake, their hearts on edge, shouting loudly.
"Xue’er, come back quick!"
"Xue’er, why are you so foolish?"
Kneeling on the ground, Mu Siwu heard the shouting. Looking up, he saw Jiang Xue already in the lake, swimming towards the center, and was stunned.
Meanwhile, the Little Fox in the space sensed Jiang Xue’s actions, shocked, and asked: "Woman, what are you doing?"
"Saving him!" Coldly uttering these words, Jiang Xue ignored the Little Fox and focused on swimming towards the center of the lake. No matter the cost, she was determined to save Mu Qiancheng.
"Wenbin, call, make the call now!" Watching this series of events, Grandma Shangguan finally regained her senses and commanded Shangguan Wenbin to make a call.
Just then everyone had been worried about Mu Qiancheng, and no one thought of making a call.
Upon hearing Grandma Shangguan, Shangguan Wenbin took out his phone and made a call. Meanwhile, a little boy reached the park management office, explained the situation, but unfortunately, no one believed him.
The little boy became anxious, grabbing one of them, he said: "Uncle, please, I’m not lying, the lake really surged, the big brother saving my little brother was swept into the waves, please take someone to rescue him."
"This kid doesn’t look like he’s lying, why don’t we go take a look?"
"Shall we go check it out?"
"Let’s go, we won’t know until we see."
A few staff members discussed it briefly and followed the little boy towards the lakeside. They hadn’t reached the lakeside yet when they heard a few shrill cries.
Upon hearing the cries, the staff’s expressions changed and they began sprinting towards the lake. When they reached the lakeside, they saw Jiang Xue swimming forward amidst the waves.
